Here's the status for those planning on coming to NYC for the holidays.

We're having an early winter. Today the high temp will be about 35 - and it looks like it won;t go much above 40 for the next week. (This is 10 to 15 degrees below normal.) So anyone coming for Thanksgiving - bundle up.

Also, today is the first "gridlock alert" day. That is, a day when the traffic is so heavy that it can, at times, come to a complete stop. Walking is usually faster than both a bus or a cab. Subway is the best way to get around.

On the plus side:

With the economy going down the tubes, there are already sales everywhere

The new skating rink at the Museum of Natural History is about to open

Happy holidays!

is there a website that posts gridlock alerts?

I need to come in Sunday, and can take the train if I need to.

I don't know of a website, but if you can take the train, I would advise it.

Here's an official list.

Keep in mind that any especially bad weather weekdays between Thanksgiving and Xmas could informally be added to the list
